Donald Trump announced Saturday he would send his presidential aircraft to bring the casket of his late predecessor George H W Bush from Texas to Washington, where he will lie in state this week.
Trump said that after flying him home from the G20 summit in Argentina, the Boeing 747 plane would travel on to Houston -- part of what he called "a special tribute that (Bush) deserves very much".
"Air Force One will be taking myself and a lot of our people back to Washington," Trump said.
"It will then be reset and it will be sent to Houston to pick up the casket of President Bush."
